I'm so glad the Chiefs passed on him.

Pat Kerwin (sp?) made this point on NFL Radio today. Basically Watson threw up 4 of what he called 50/50 passes. Thanks to some luck and good receiver play Watson got all 4 through some pretty decent coverage. If those 50/50 balls live up to their billing, however, he ends up with 45% completion percentage, around 160 yards, and the Texans lose by 20+.
Watson reminds me of Derek Carr - misses shorter throws badly, misreads coverages badly, but has some good receivers who are able to win battles on deep balls. Doesn't make him bad, per se, but as Kerwin said today you can't win a championship that way.
Maybe he learns how to play better -- but I wouldn't trade Mahomes for Watson even after the first month of this season.
